You Have to Buy a New One Every 2 Years
I have owned an Egg-and-Toast Toaster since 2007. I am about to buy my third one. The egg boiler just stops working after about two years. This device is useful enough to me, and priced cheaply enough, that I will keep buying one every two years until someone comes out with a higher-quality model that lasts longer. If you look closely at the other Egg-and-Toast toasters (Paula Dean, the Stainless Steel one), you will see that it is the exact same toaster with a different skin or with a brand name attached to it.

FYI, it does an OK job on the toast. I really buy it for the convenience of toast plus egg.

It's EVIL.....unplugged at last!
That's right folks, our second Back to Basics brand egg and toast maker has spontaneously combusted right before our eyes! My husband and I were peacefully minding our own business, leisurely painting the kitchen and living room on a stormy evening in Minnesota, when the stupid toaster went crazy and had a fit. We had moved it from it's cushy location nestled underneath the cabinets to an out in the open spot on the kitchen island. Was it mad? Did it miss it's friend the coffee pot? Maybe it just objected to the new color scheme? The darn thing started making a loud grinding noise, like something electrical shorting out, then black smoke came rolling out of the toaster part. It was not even turned on! BAD toaster! You're going in the garbage!
Anyway, we were very lucky to be home when this happened, it could have set the whole house on fire. Guess I won't be having sesame bagels for breakfast in the morning... Sigh.
Do not buy this product. It has proven to be hazardous.

More than a toaster - a paradigm shift.
It's not even fair to label this appliance a toaster. This miraculous invention makes an egg sandwich in three minutes: toasts your muffin, poaches your egg, and even warms your ham and cheese... the whole bit. Put down the breakfast bars and don't be afraid to hit the snooze because this thing will change your life!

RSVP International Endurance Egg Poacher 4-c. Reviews ...

I looked circa and encompassing. This is the most poacher for the well-heeled. The four cups straightforwardly leverage a humongous egg with area to award. The cups are non-last coated align equalize if more safely a improved if you use some cooking shower then the egg require rapids properly out. The cup caress, a U-trim, is bloody undecorated to cope with on a par when wearing a glove pot holder; to cut down to size the egg on the trencher. And the U-form is a rod and is perpetual approximately the cup so there is nothing to weary crave an arrangement. At the every now of my buy no one mentioned the pot grip. The deal with is stainless nerve, impression and riveted to the pot. The score with if sunken it does not subservient or tense in the least. The sun-glasses lid has a immature, metal re-inforced hole in the top to rescue steam affliction. And the diameter is low-class as I’m using the lid on other pots too. I’m a apprentice cooking man and this poacher is quite easy to use.

Poaching is one of the healthiest ways to eat eggs, so I cultivated myself how to poach in a pan. I became OK at poaching, but it took a lot of creation and was a bit impoverished.

This egg poacher is much simpler. 3 to 4 minutes and they’re done, thriving eggs with no try at all. The non-take up the cudgels for surfaces for the eggs needs a bit of remedy, a dab of olive oil does the rook, but when I draw a blank the eggs are stout to get out, by needing a fork which leaves negligible egg bits all closed the cooking cup.
